Most everyone I see driving a Scion have already re-badged their car with Hello Kitty.

The car in Japan is named, that, it is literally the same aside from the right hand side wheel.

I would have no problems with people rebadging thier Scion FR-S to Toyota GT86 either.
yah, that would be funny. :icon17: put BTEC next to it too.

I actually don't really like the "fairlady" name. For me, what makes these cars cool is the "Z" or "ZX" name.

Does anyone have a link/article about Nissan's racing history with the Z? I'm too young to know much about their racing back then

Don't tell Corvette owners their cars were named after French Flowers. Lol! I bet most people don't know the Vette logo has French symbol for lilies the fleur-de-lis as part of its design.
